That's All
Larry Elgart and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with bolts up to the sky
A kiss and no goodbye
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late
A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
Music interlude
Don't let me down, Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, You also get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste
Tomorrow might not come, When dreamers dream too late
[Repeat first verse]
That's all I want from you
The lyrics of Larry Elgart and His Orchestra's song That's All convey the message of a desire for a long-lasting love that grows over time instead of a fleeting and temporary one. The singer wishes for a relationship with no sudden or unpredictable changes that would leave them with heartache or disappointment. They long for a bright and optimistic future filled with endless possibilities, symbolized by "a sunny day with bolts up to the sky." The singer also urges their partner not to let them down, to show that they care, and to remember that giving and receiving love is a two-way street.
The lyrics demonstrate a sense of urgency and a realization of the fleeting nature of life, urging the partner not to waste time and seize the opportunity for a lasting love. The repetition of the first verse at the end of the song serves as a powerful reminder of the singer's simple yet profound desire for a love that grows and endures through time.
